Don't say it is not an issue - for some it is, for others like yourself it isn't. I think Apple made some design trade-offs here either for cost/weight/size reasons or perhaps to protect their flagship product the iPad Air. That's fine for Apple; obviously they have been successful at it. But its not always so fine for me as a consumer. I protect my interests by finding out what the trade-offs are and making my decision accordingly. Apple should publish the color gamut spec on the iPads and let the consumer decide; they have't but fortunately DisplayMate has.
I haven't purchased an iPad yet. At the end of the day I might still get the rMini for my specialized use as a remote controller for my media server. But if do, it will be with full knowledge of its limitations.
Again... There really is no real world use of the higher color gamut. If you're a graphic artist the ipad rMini shouldn't be your device of choice anyway, functionality is the same on both as consumer devices, so it's down to nitpicking really. Your videos and pictures will look great on both devices and you won't notice any of the so called "limitations" until both devices are side by side. I've watched a bunch of tv shows and a few HD movies on both my rMini and my Air. Neither affected my enjoyment of the content to any differential degree.
I was specifically referring to your "be all, end all" portion of your comment. I too have an iPad 3 with slight uneven tint so I do know what you are talking about. If one fixates on something so trivial than perhaps you should just give up on iPads and move on.
